Lot Design
PO11 Reconfiguring a lot: (1) results in lots that have a usable shape suitable
for the lots intended purpose and use; (2) results in lots with a regular shape and
boundaries where practicable; (3) allows for the uses listed in the table of
consistent uses and potentially consistent uses in the zone;
(4) achieves character and built form outcomes applicable to the relevant Zone;
(5) provides for all activities associated with the use on the lot to be located wholly within the lot;
(6) does not contravene any existing approvals attached to the land; and
(7) does not result in existing development contravening the Planning Scheme.
AO11.1 Development creates lots that comply with Table 9.4.6.3.2 - Minimum Lot Size and Design.
Performance outcome
The SRAIP subdivision and proposed development code creates / will create lots within the SRAIP which are in keeping with an agricultural industrial precinct.
AO11.2 Development ensures lot size and dimensions are sufficient to: (1) retain consistency with any existing
approvals attached to the land; (2) provides for all activities associated with a
use on the lot to be located wholly within a single lot;
(3) accommodate existing development in a way that does not contravene the requirements of the Planning Scheme;
(4) accommodate intended or likely structures, including the provision of level building pads and any associated retaining walls; and
(5) achieves character and built form outcomes for future development applicable to the relevant Zone.

Operational Works
PO9 Operational works (not associated with building work), is minimised and must not; (1) adversely affect slope stability; or (2) cause geological instability; (3) create erosion potential; or (4) create a potential risk to structures or personal
safety.
AO9.1 Development involving operational works is supported by a RPEQ certified geotechnical report, which: (1) adequately addresses and documents the
site's geotechnical stability and constraints; (2) incorporates necessary mitigation measures
so that the level of landslide risk to property and persons is low;
(3) ensures surface waters are managed and will not cause erosion both during the works being undertaken, and in an ongoing basis.
Performance outcome
The proposed earthworks is not situated in the portions of the site identified for landslide hazard.
AO9.2 Development creates minimal disturbance to the natural ground levels.
Acceptable outcome
The SRAIP will not disrupt natural ground levels for areas in the slope hazard area.

vegetation significant to the stabilisation of the land; and
(2) revegetates areas to increase the stabilisation of the land.
